worse. The rain of the early morning
followed in the little dribs at intervals
with thick heavy atmosphere that
was quite depressing on those in quest
of field sports and Kept the larger part
OF them at home, which was quite a
mercy to the birds and rabbits. The
day was heavy throughout, but better
towards evening.
The churches were fairly well at

Rev E. G Mock, the rector, conduct

the Episcopal Church and preached a
short and appropriate sermon on
Thanksgiving.
AT the Methodist church the services
were prefaced by a new and spirited
anthem we'll rendered by full choir.
The hymn and opening prayer by Her

The Congress Of the United States
will assemble next Tuesday. Its as
sembling is looked to for solution 70
some extent, of our monetary diaicuI-
ties and the settling on a financial mol
icy by the Administration, which has
been up to the present time without
one. And thus must be preliminary to
large extent TO the Presidential con-
test Of next year which promises to be
an exciting one. Col. A. X. Mcclure
editor Of the Philadelphia Times. was
in Washington last week looking over
the field Of national politics, and he
thus writes Of it as it now appears:
L goes without saying that the
coming session Of Congress will be sim
ply the preliminary skirmish between
the two great parties for vantage posi-
tion in the Presidential battle Of next
year. Beyond the passage Of the in
dlspensable appropriations, all the pub
Tic measures of moment will be viewed
and disposed Of as party interests
shall dictate, and even the appropria-
tons viii be more or less shaped bv
their possible effect upon popular SEN
tlment. Either party would pass or
defeat any measure if thereby It could
reasonably hope to win the great polit-
ical sweepstakes of1888.
The natural inquiry Of the unso-
phisiicated citizen is: Are there M
statesmen lefb2' To which the truth
ful answer is. that there are plenty Of
statesmen left, but they are just such
statesmen as the country has had at
the top since the Republic was found
ed, and they are no better no worse
than the statesmen Of all The three
generations which have enjoyed con-
